The BVL 250 caliber is an automatic manufacture movement made specially for Bulgari.

The form of the bridges and rotor is designed to harmonize with the dial and to highlight the beauty of the “haut de gamme” movement and its refined finishings, which are all executed by hand according to the highest standards of Swiss watchmaking. The plate and the bridges are hand-decorated with two different diameters of “perlage”, an original biaxial “côtes de Genève” and a “traits tirés” treatment. All the edges of the plate and bridges are “diamanté”, as are the sinks around the jewels. The 18-ct gold oscillating weight segment is embellished with a “satiné circulaire” finishing. The central “colimaçonnée” part of the rotor is characterised by a unique shape that repeats the dial design and reveals the movement and the personalised bridges within. Even the smallest components are crafted by Bulgari’s Master Watchmakers with painstaking care, down to the polished and chamfered screw heads.
